I also use Ubuntu a lot, and while I'm disappointed about this Snap thing, I'm still not looking for alternatives.

At least until 22.04 I could dodge snaps pretty easily, but now, since Firefox is now a snap package, things went worse, at least for me. I gave it a try and, while the experience was not as bad as I feared, I soon encountered problems with things like trying to use a smartcard reader for signing documents, something that used to work out of the box with the non sanboxed version of Firefox and now it's broken with snaps (or at least some weeks ago).

I ended up downloading a Firefox tarball from the official site. I know you can use a PPA for that, but I don't feel comfortable having software as critical as a web browser from a third-party Ubuntu PPA.

Maybe I should give Pop OS a try...
I use Reolink RLC-810 cameras for this purpose, seem to tick your boxes - on their own VLAN isolated away from everything, and I just pull in the streams via RTSP - firmware updates can be uploaded via the camera Web interface. I wouldn't call then "ruggedized", but I live on a fairly remote farm that definitely gets hit hard by the weather, and they have survived just fine.
Oh, yes, the big shift of "everything's the responsibility of devs". Wait till we also need to do product analysis and we finally get to it.

> The phrase is "information wants to be free", not "information wants to be $10/month"

Actually it is kind of both. The full phrase was "Information Wants To Be Free. Information also wants to be expensive. ...That tension will not go away", from Stewart Brand's "The Media Lab: Inventing the Future at MIT".

That was a more succinct expression of something he said earlier to Steve Wozniak at a conference:

> On the one hand you have — the point you’re making Woz — is that information sort of wants to be expensive because it is so valuable — the right information in the right place just changes your life. On the other hand, information almost wants to be free because the costs of getting it out is getting lower and lower all of the time. So you have these two things fighting against each other.

CCI imposes INR 1337.76 crore penalty on Android for anti-competitive practice
some experts

13. Accordingly, in terms of the provisions of Section 27 of the Act, the Commission has
imposed monetary penalty as well as issued cease and desist order against Google from
indulging in anti-competitive practices that have been found to be in contravention of the
provisions of Section 4 of the Act. Some of the measures that were indicated by the
Commission are as follows:

i. OEMs shall not be restrained from (a) choosing from amongst Google’s proprietary
applications to be pre-installed and should not be forced to pre-install a bouquet of
applications, and (b) deciding the placement of pre-installed apps, on their smart
devices.

ii. Licensing of Play Store (including Google Play Services) to OEMs shall not be
linked with the requirement of pre-installing Google search services, Chrome
browser, YouTube, Google Maps, Gmail or any other application of Google.

iii. Google shall not deny access to its Play Services APIs to disadvantage OEMs, app
developers and its existing or potential competitors. This would ensure
interoperability of apps between Android OS which complies with compatibility
requirements of Google and Android Forks. By virtue of this remedy, the app
developers would be able to port their apps easily onto Android forks.

iv. Google shall not offer any monetary/ other incentives to, or enter into any
arrangement with, OEMs for ensuring exclusivity for its search services.

v. Google shall not impose anti-fragmentation obligations on OEMs, as presently being
done under AFA/ ACC. For devices that do not have Google’s proprietary
applications pre-installed, OEMs should be permitted to manufacture/ develop
Android forks based smart devices for themselves.

vi. Google shall not incentivise or otherwise obligate OEMs for not selling smart
devices based on Android forks.

vii. Google shall not restrict un-installing of its pre-installed apps by the users.

viii. Google shall allow the users, during the initial device setup, to choose their default
search engine for all search entry points. Users should have the flexibility to easily
set as well as easily change the default settings in their devices, in minimum steps
possible.

ix. Google shall allow the developers of app stores to distribute their app stores through
Play Store.

Texas Sues Google for Collecting Biometric Data Without Consent
My theory is we need to add "software history" to computer science education programs. How many developers whose careers began after 2000 have ever hand written or know the power of a Makefile? I've worked at research labs and major animation studios that back in the 90's the entire infrastructure was fully automated thru Makefiles, and it purred like a well fed cat. There are hundreds of thousands of forgotten perfectly fine software tools, ignored simply because our industry has absolutely no respect for it's own history or lessons painfully learned beyond pulling up disparaging stories for new marketing angles.

The original windows Console application didn't emulate VT100 or character-based interfaces. It's been a while since I've looked but I think all of those APIs are deprecated now in and it has been changed to act more like a character terminal. Powershell maybe? I dunno.

On Plan9 Sam and acme... heck most programs didn't have to emulate character-based terminal emulators. They could drop into a graphical mode if they wanted to.

Amiga OS applications were similar.

One I've been using more often is built into emacs, eshell. It can quite handily use emacs functions to create windows, draw graphics, evaluate elisp I type in or interpret shell commands, pipe shell command results into buffers, etc. But it doesn't emulate VT100 consoles... if you use a program that tries to use those escape sequences to control the output device it won't work well (or at all) in eshell.

Which is why I don't think they catch on. Too many useful programs or libraries programs depend on are built around termios and VT100 escape sequences to control a character-based interface. Coming up with a standard for graphical interfaces would just add another standard to the pile. And would probably have to be VT100 compatible for people to adopt it anyway. There'd be a lot of uphill battles to fight.

update: my knowledge of Console is pretty hazy though, take with a grain of salt. Maybe someone with win32 experience remembers better than I.

It's nearly 400 days for me, but the key feature is the "127 days" I've saved using their speedup features (intro skipping, ~1.5x playback, silence reduction).

The latter two don't just save time, but make hosts sound more lively. Podcast hosts are trained to speak slowly and carefully, which is good for most audiences, but I prefer it a bit tighter. I listen while running or driving and it helps me stay engaged.

Pocket Casts has some remarkable algorithms which do the speed-ups while remaining natural-sounding or forced (at least at the speeds I listen).
Agreed; I have always thought of it as a rationalization of bad practices.

I started learning Blender a few months ago and I agree, the donut tutorial is excellent. One tip that helped me was to recreate the tutorial from memory after each video. So I had two files, one for following the tutorial and one for practice.
I think you make a strong case for ops who can dev, but a fairly weak one for devs who can ops so I think you and the parent are actually agreeing. And this mirrors my experience pretty well, I need to know the code to be able to ops effectively but it's much rarer that devs need to know how to ops to dev effectively.

And in some ways this is by design, I want to have some distance between dev and ops because it gives me the freedom to rearrange infrastructure transparently. I can move workloads between Lambda, ECS, and EC2 based on the observed performance characteristics without anyone being the wiser.
>platform engineering and enabling developer self-service.

in any sufficiently large company platforms arent engineered, they are acquired or purchased/licensed based on their viability as an "enterprise grade" asset that drives business success and reduces cost through identifiable if not meaningless KPI and record keeping.

In any sufficiently large company self-service is supplanted by rigid controls, authorizations, approvals, and annual reviews. this is done in the service of jira and the need to make-pretend work by an ever growing cavalcade of pseudoworkers who recognize self-service as the killing stroke of their career.

it can then be said, grudgingly and with scorn, that devops seems designed by its very definition to operate as an antipattern to some of the worlds largest, most successful corporations.
Unfortunately, it doesn't prevent it but reduces the chance.

Installing Arch with the cli installer [1] is pretty straightforward these days. It only becomes a lot more work if you have very specific preferences on partition layouts, filesystems and bootloaders. In my experience, changing these things on Ubuntu was even more difficult and less documented.

Insane but not batshit insane.

1) Shenzhen went from fishing village to a ~15 million population city in around 30 years. So there's a precedent for building a massive city in a relatively short period of time.

2) The Line is expected to house 9 million people. Assuming 2 people per house and given the $500 billion cost-estimate, it comes out at $110,000 per house. I've seen brand new apartments in Istanbul going for around that price and that's probably way above the actual construction cost (e.g. it includes land cost, developer's profit, etc.). Remember that the land here is free and there will probably be massive economies of scale due to the massiveness of the project.
> Such a replacement and/or maintenance would require much more planning with trolley buses.

Not really. All modern trolley you buy today can operate of line for enough for that not to be an issue.

Unless you are renovating huge parts of roads at once its unlike to be a problem. You just drive to the next station without wire and reconnect.

Also you're nice new roads will degrade much faster if you let large battery buses drive over them over and over.

> Second, a big event

In almost all cities such big events are always in the same places usually those places are pretty well connected with wires.

This could potentially be a problem but not sure how often this would be hugely limiting.

> I also imagine that the a trolley wires are vulnerable to vandalism and damage due to storms.

Its pretty bad weather in Switzerland and I rarely hear about major problems. I never had to switch from a trolley to a non-trolley bus because of wire issues.

If you have vandalism, a burning full battery bus is the most dangerous thing that can happen, becaues those buses once on fire are fucking terrifying. Granted it doesn't end often, but driving them long enough and its bound to happen sometime.

The trolley wires are fairly high up and pretty sturdy. Not sure what kind of vandals would really try to break them.

But sure, I support replacing diesel, I just think for at least the major lines, just use trolley. You can still do 50/50 if you have fears about the things you mentioned.

Also, they are just operationally more efficient, never needing to charge, they can run in a constant loop. Some bi-articulated huge trolley here on the main line literally along the line 10-30 minutes frequency with a per bus capacity of 120 people. The go from 7am-ish to 1am-ish non-stop. You just can do that with battery electric buses unless you have many more buses with some buses constantly having to wait at the end station to recharge.
The problem is that devs simply can't accept that ops exist.

We spoiled devs way too much.

Software are still being thrown over the wall and ops takes all the blame.

The problem is that many devs can get away with spawning servers and doing the easy parts of ops, when it requires rules and discipline, then we all know what happens, over engineering and security holes.

I'm definitely a YIMBY but red states are coming from a place of much lower density. They will certainly get these problems as they get more density.

Which red state area is more dense than SF?
Modern trolley buses can have battery range extenders that allow them to go off route.
I didn’t compare genetic general intelligence to Lysenkoism. I compared eugenics to it; the critical difference is the misguided conceit that we can engineer general intelligence.

And yes, lots of Americans correctly identify that racism plays a significant role in perceptions of intelligence. This doesn’t alter the fact that many are squeamish about discussing it directly.
Yeah, I've seen that bug in a monitoring graph that was showing data for say every 5 minutes but the (MySQL) database table had data per minute; so you'd see a spike in the graph, but refresh a minute later and voila no spike anymore.
> If commuting is work then employers should pay for it or have the time taken to commute deducted from work hours.

If your employer requires you to come to the office, then getting there is part of the job, and I think you should be compensated for that time. Commuting during rush hour certainly isn't a pleasure activity that I'd be doing without obligation.
Go is only statically linked when not depending on C code, if you're using CGo, you cannot get a statically linked executable with Go alone, and a lot of Go projects do depend on C code. You also lose Go's cross-compilation when using CGo.

In fact, Zig is used in combination with CGo to create statically linked executables and re-enable cross-compilation:
https://dev.to/kristoff/zig-makes-go-cross-compilation-just-...

Same also applies to Rust:
https://actually.fyi/posts/zig-makes-rust-cross-compilation-...

> It's still a good idea to Dockerize your apps even if they are statically compiled. If your app has C dependencies e.g. libxml2, it won't run on another system if the required C headers are missing.

You clearly don't understand the meaning of statically linked nor how dynamic linking works. Spend less time concern-trolling and more learning software engineering, friend ;^)
There's a large enterprise push literally going on right now (and growing) to move towards hybrid cloud.

To be honest I have no idea who the winners will be but as a user of OpenStack I can say for sure that that won't be it.

Kubernetes and to a lesser degree Nomad are diverting orgs in a different direction. I would say that Nomad is probably far easier/better for most orgs.

I've also seen a number of teams keen on buying their hardware from Oxide.

It's a wild world out there right now.
It doesn't have to be a lot of links, if you piss off the wrong people and they massreport you you're temporarily out.

You can reach out to support, but I don't know that support actually ever responds to any requests. Apparently according to posts on reddit if you add your number to twitter and something happens you won't even be able to ever remove it. Similarly they have weird intransparent policies regarding what numbers are allowed on twitter.

At the end of the day, most tech giants are unreachable. I hate to be that guy,but in a way it's kind of like the big chinese tech dystopia that all HN so adamantly complain about.
It's not their money, it's California's money -- so how much would a SF politician care?

> Matt Haney, who secured the $1.7 million funding from the state to install the toilet ...
I completely agree that 20+ years of cheap money have absolutely caused much of the complexity we see today. That's because people aren't working on problems that matter; instead, they're just trying to make VCs rich--effectively passing the buck on to the greater fool. I think this era is coming to an end, and we should see a drastic reduction in software development costs with the end of cheap debt.

Be careful as the city square mileage can be misleading.

The other problem facing cities such as San Francisco is that despite its density it does a piss poor job at public transit and is still focused on car-first infrastructure. To your point, the surrounding area is ~7 million. It’s physically impossible for all of them or even most of them to drive everywhere without gigantic infrastructure problems. It will simply not work. Ever. It is physically impossible.
Like half the pins in a CPU socket are ground and power. The copper planes carrying power from the VRM to the socket are massive. Wide and thick. The CPU die itself has large networks of metal interconnect that get finer and finer to supply smaller and smaller areas, much like our circulatory system. You can see these on die shots of older parts as well, e.g. http://www.righto.com/2016/12/die-photos-and-analysis-of_24.... notice the thick traces which start to fan out quickly.

Also consider that there's 10+ billion transistors for those 200 A to go around.
Well, C was made with UNIX in mind. To that end, UNIX/Linux is both the package manager and dev environment for C. Further C package managers are just redundant.

Funneling free money into rent, any way you structure it, will indeed raise prices unless you also build more housing.

Ironically the people fighting the hardest to funnel free money into rent are the same ones fighting the hardest to prevent new housing at all costs, under the delusional theory that "induced demand" means that the law of supply and demand is wrong and the inverse applies.

According to your definition:

> It's just one of the things that inanimate objects can't do --- they can't alter their surroundings

And given that you wrote that as a response to the question:

> What's consciousness have to do with impact on reality?

Then you must logically say that it is.

Fortunately I don't have to claim such a belief for myself, because I said earlier:

> nobody really knows what "consciousness" means (or if they are completely certain, then they also disagree with someone else who is also completely certain and/or deny the logical consequences of that definition).

With specific emphasis on "deny the logical consequences of that definition".

Ah well. Perhaps one day, we'll have an AI that can tell us what consciousness is without repeating all the mistakes and pitfalls that humans make when trying to philosophise about this topic.
