This is a rather personal take on any versioning on the web. Web 2.0 was "cool" because it was a change to something beautifully different.

I have heard others say terms such as "industry 4.0", "agtech 5.0", etc. My reaction is the usual WTF!

It is no longer "cool" to say anything after v2.0. It is not about the version number but rather a differentiator. After v2.0, you are just forcing it and it is something like people who keep talking about what great things they did in the past while distancing themselves from the present.

Here is something, HTML stopped versioning after v5.0, and I love that. It is just plain HTML for all of us (even if the specifications have internal versions).

So, no, anything after v2.0 is just cheesy.

I was lucky to be amongst those developers who participated in spearheading the Web 2.0 thingy. I developed a whole lot of Rich Internet Applications (RIA) powered by the Flash Player, and then went on to do a whole lot of Ajax, Web 2.0 without it too.

It's not a scam, it's a Hail Mary play to control the platform that Facebook's services run on. Without that control, it's at the mercy of upstream vendors.

It's not going to work, but there's a good reason for why they are trying.

By that same logic you'd make the argument that "94% of abusive work places" exist in poorer countries with far less worker rights. Is that something you want to happen to the US, third world country like working conditions just so corporations are more likely to hire Americans? Or maybe we should be working on upping the baseline standards surrounding workers rights?
It's a very high barrier. Because you can't interpolate animation, or move bones around, or slap a different texture if you don't like something.

Every motion in every direction has to be animated. It's akin to creating animation by drawing every change on a separate sheet of paper, photographing it, and then stitching together.

The barrier of entry is indeed low. It doesn't take much to start sketching some pixel images. Making a coherent animated whole out if it? Very labor intensive and hard.

That makes me really happy :) And if you prefer docs in web-form, just look up any module in hexdocs.pm . Also can't overstate how helpful elixirforums.com is - a lot of smart + helpful people on there.
I agree with this.

And I'm approaching 40, still like to stare at screen and tinker whole day, though do less and less of it as I get more and more attracted intellectualy to build companies and not only software product.
10x is really being charitable.
M.2 and PCIE style connectors are great for board-to-board connections. We use them all of the time in industrial applications. Super cheap and super reliable if you follow the rules. Very common to see all sorts of commodity connectors (M.2, USB, Ethernet etc) get used for non-standard uses.

Don't be afraid to use these edge connectors for hobby work - just make sure to get the board thickness correct and don't stress too much about the gold finger plating. If you aren't inserting too often, then a basic 2U should be fine (you don't need super-expensive 32U etc)

Of course when you're dealing with a user-facing connector, follow the rules and don't cheap out or be lazy.
Fascinating read. Of course I'm no big business but for the last 20 years I've done it like this for non-critical stuff:

- NS Records at 86400
- A and CNAME at 3600
- 1-2 days before moving stuff to other infra (ISP, DNS reseller, etc), switch to 600 or lower, then 1-2 days later switch back.

Can't even say why, it's cargo culting but it has always worked out fine, but ofc I'm not talking about production APIs.

And every single time there was some problem, setting the TTL to < 1minute would not have helped, so I guess I'll stick to it.
I don't know if it's scientific, but I like to refer as the 10,000 hours rules : to acquire a very good level, you need 5 years of work.

If you are 30, at 35 you will have a very good level. So there is still time. Even if you are 70, it's always time to invest in a new skill.
My information is out of date then thanks for the heads up. Yes the last TB cable I bought was the apple one, but prior to that I purchased Belkin and Startech cables for the same price and couldn't find cheaper ones
Agreed.

They said that about radio. They said that about TV. They said that about computers. They said that about dumbphones. They said that about smartphones. They're now saying that about apps.
this is exactly the opposite of what hundreds of warehouse and shop people have said about me for over 40 years

Just don't. They specifically said "your answer shows a lack of empathy", it wasn't a personal attack. Your post doesn't show 40 years of experience.

I.T. should be a trusted business partner

Agreed, but you also rightfully admit that that's a management problem, and cannot be fixed by either side of the original conversation. So you discarding their work by "differentiating those who sling code from those who do real [work]" or calling users "fleas who used to jump 6 feet" does come across as juvenile.
My uncle “wasted 10 years of his life” as a monk in the Pacific Northwest. Back to school at your age and all the comp sci classes were full so he started a math track and was able to pick up a few programming courses along the way.

Talent + motivation + time = success.

He’s now retired with an amazing career behind him in tech from Microsoft (white collar slavery he called it) to innovating online ticketing for a still going US airline.

> This is NOT a good thing

I think this depends on ideology a lot. In europe the sentiment is to improve the life and livelihood of the average person on average, and not that of a few CEOs, and labour laws reflect that.

The cynic inside me tells me this results in universal health care, better infrastructure, less divide between poor and rich and thus less crime on average, ... in europe. In the US you have super rich CEOs fueling policies to make the rich richer. Maybe my reasoning here is not true, but I take these quality of life improvements over all the tech unicorns any time.
> It is easy to see dog whistling everywhere because that's its entire purpose: to hide within normalized speech.

It is easy to see dog whistling everywhere because that's the phrase's entire purpose: it's a weapon. It's an accusation that's cheap to make, and near-impossible to disprove.

Sure, legitimate cases of dog whistling probably exist. It's impossible to tell for sure, because the "test" has near 100% false-positive rate. Or, put another way, talking about dog whistling being a thing is itself malinformation - technically the phenomenon exists, but bringing attention to it is between confused and malicious.
I wonder if I'll have to also go custom for my next laptop if I want something with a
15" screen, no numberpad, touchpad with 3 physical buttons, boots to Linux, fully self serviceable or almost so.

I have hopes for Framework but they are still missing at least two of those points. My current laptop is missing the no numberpad point. I had to compromise and that was the least painful one.
Not really, we've applied PostgresML in the charity space (we're the first data-driven charity in Ukraine) and we have been using Timescale for other things, however we haven't yet figured out how to connect all the dots. I'm going to talk to Timescale's technical team as well as PostgresML people on this subject next week. Hopefully, we can build some understanding as to how much this can be pushed as the use-case is simply too attractive to let pass; at least whenever you have the luxury to engineer the data flow bottom-up... If you're interested, we can stay in touch, or do a group/mailing list to explore this further. I have a feeling that we're sitting on a proverbial gold deposit here, in data integration terms :-)

Yup.. The transcripts say he wanted to partner yup. Binance did finance, so maybe it's a way to get involved in Elon's inner circle.
I'm 35, and i've done A LOT of tech hiring. I've witnessed first-hand other managers making comments about "older" coders such as "well, do we think they're going to be adapable?" or "Is it a good culture fit?"

These questions are always thinly veiled ageism.

Regardless of age, some people become set in their ways. With age, this becomes more apparent and noticeable because people are looking for it. Sometimes being older DOES mean a lack of open mindedness and adaptability.

I think the perfect hire is a young head on old shoulders. Experience, wisdom, intuition, a lack of dogma, honed pragmatism ... but also a willingness to be wrong and persist, a ragged determination that comes with youthful foolishness.

So, even for me, age does correlate with some negative traits that MAY develop. I try my best to stay current, but use my developed nose to sniff out the fads, trends and anything without substance.

I feel this in myself and others provides massive value, more than the benefits of youth.

linux namespaces/cgroup may be an implementation detail. But at a high level, each container can have a different view on system resources, and this is the critical point. Different from each other and the host system. The system resource can be filesystem, network access, processes, memory, ... .

chroot only isolates the file system, otherwise all other system resource is shared with the host system.

I don't doubt that other container technologies achieved similar level of isolation or more before Docker. But chroot is really not comparable to Docker.
You are using a poor heuristic that favors young people. That is age discrimination. It's illegal in many countries, and unethical in all. You should try to throw out the heuristic and find a better way to determine interest.

For what it's worth, some engineers who are "just in it for the money" consistently pump out high quality code. They just go home at 6pm. While some of those who love it are working towards burnout. I have hired both. Both have their pros and cons.
> At every place I've worked, we've had trouble where ISPs just ignore TTLs and set them arbitrarily high.

DigitalOcean does this, or at least some of the collocation/hosting providers they are using for their infra. They appear to redirect :53 connections to their own resolvers that cache NXDOMAINs.
Great initiative, hope this takes off :)

My thoughts exactly. When our little program crashes, even in C or assembly, your operating system cleans it up for you. Just redo-it better next time. Compare that with chemistry.

Maybe what is needed for chemistry is an "operating system" that safely handles and cleans up the experiment ran. Maybe this is what actually should be sold for basic chemistry. Like the kitchen robots but for nasty materials.

I had this problem and solved it by using trackpoint keyboards [0], sadly they're pretty pricey on eBay now though. There are newer models that are slightly worse keyboards, but are wireless.

I also haven't had trouble using a trackpad, centered relative to whatever monitor/screen I'm using.

Good luck!

I think you are searching for some kind of meaning. Maybe instead of something big, think small. Often the most local small things can make a huge direct impact or even things that are more internalized, things that still make you giddy inside like a kid.
As a concept no, as practically implemented (currently) yes.

We are trying to get our first contentful paints down to 50ms as web2 devs.

Meanwhile web3 services struggle to stay up at any kind of load, let alone be anywhere comparable to performance.
My intuition is that it would probably depend on how much memory is being used and how fast.

If you're just decoding a lot of 8K video in SW, maybe most flips will be in the decoded bitmap frame buffer and will no be noticed. On the other hand if you're crunching a lot of data and are storing big, complex data structures in the process, it could more easily break some pointer address or length field and crash your program (or system, if it's kernel stuff).

>If I took a snapshot of a running machine, how safe is that flip from landing somewhere bad

Would be cool to set up KVM to flip a bit in a VM's memory every X amount of time and see how long it will take for weird stuff to happen.

Which country and what is special about your eyes or glasses?

I have noticed that in France glasses with decent but standard frames cost around 5 times as much as in the UK. My suspicion is that the difference is related to how supplementary health insurance works in France rather than any special manufacturing requirements.
Yeah,that was one of my first thoughts as well. I guess the raw.github example gets not only more traffic (irrelevant here) but probably also many more requests than hundreds of other sites combined.

Also no clue how actual RR DNS load balancing (without anycast) is still widely practiced, because I guess that also influences it a lot, you may be able to fix a DC going down on a completely different level than DNS. And my experience with cheap home routers is basically that they might cache hostnames for a month (we had stuff with tracking pixels in 2013-2017, EOLing some stuff was wild, we switched DNS and days and weeksl later still got valid requests to the old IPs).
> I cooked up this idea of creating a dummy file (dd), formatting it into a file system, mounting it as a loopback device and deb-bootstrapping it.

This has been used for 2 decades. It's extremely common for embedded systems.
The merits of your arguments aside, Apple is not obliged to sell you a device that satisfies your personal requirements.

Apple most definitely sells you a service, which is a managed computing platform. Alternatives exist. (And if they don’t, that’s not Apple’s problem.)
I like this point-of-view about people who programs to get hired. In one way or another, I seen plenty of people like that. These are people I will absolutely never hire, precisely because I cannot count on them to broaden their horizon and talk about or challenge the direction of projects. Of course, those things shouldn't take away from orderly production of software, but a truly excellent software engineer shows depth in understanding of their craft in practice. It's really good that this, for me, has consistently shown itself in interviews, even with junior developers.

Many stock prices actually go UP when all of them are sold, at least to a single buyer. Most famously in recent history, TWTR. The amount they go up even has a name on the balance sheet: Goodwill.

The other big example is IPO's. Timed well, an IPO sees shares appreciate from their private valuation into a higher amount as they hit the public market.

But yes, once already public, when being sold to multiple buyers, typically you're correct, a sudden increase in supply while demand stays constant does result in prices dropping.

The scope of this conversation is drifting - we started by talking about whether scientists always use scientific methodologies in trustworthy ways.

The BEST project you mentioned uses very similar methodologies as climatologists usually do, so it's not a surprise they replicated the results. As the quote you give makes clear, the BEST people took acknowledged-to-be corrupted data, assumed a priori that "correcting" that data is a legitimate thing to do, "corrected" it in largely similar ways and got largely similar results. That isn't really a surprise because replicability wasn't ever an issue under contention.

The issue under debate here is rather whether that's a scientifically legitimate approach to begin with, and whether it's the sort of thing people expect when they think of science. I don't see how editing observational data can ever be scientific. If you allow one field to do it you have to let them all do it and then what can be said with any confidence about what's true?

The problem is researchers usually start by saying "this question feels important, therefore, we will work with what we've got" and there's no incentive to stop and say "the data quality is insufficient for analysis". BEST claimed to address UHI effects but just like previously, when people dug into the details they found that large numbers of weather stations at airports and post offices had been classed as "very rural", for example, so the data here is just of garbage quality.

W.R.T. climatology specifically there probably is a slight rise in temperatures across the globe in the past decades - the satellite data suggests as such. But not much, certainly much less than predicted, and we only have such data stretching back a few decades so not much can be said about long term trends. By climatologist's own admission the surface temperature dataset is heavily corrupted, that's why they modify it so much. The modifications in the current era are relatively small but in the past e.g. first half of the 20th century they are much larger, effectively making the past colder than it was actually observed to be at the time. That's why all the papers and newspaper articles from the 60s and 70s discussing global cooling are now considered obsolete - they edited the data to remove the cooling but, once again, there was never any post-mortem into why their measurement methodologies failed so badly or why they collectively asserted a new ice age with so much confidence.

Finally, note that once we zoom out a bit from the question of SST reliability, there is still the problem of aggressive exaggeration and unscientific behavior elsewhere in the field. To quote Muller back at you:

"much, if not most, of what is attributed to climate change is speculative, exaggerated or just plain wrong. I've analyzed some of the most alarmist claims, and my skepticism about them hasn't changed"
havent checked for too long but are private trackers still thriving?
I made an account to reply to this. I don't think this is a China/TikTok issue but more an issue of how the west is treating its people.

Sure, social media/TikTok shows impressionable people that you can earn a (good) living by making content (as does YouTube, Twitch, and OnlyFans). Still, western civilizations aren't offering an attractive alternative.

Look at all the layoffs in tech and all the outsourcing that has happened with companies that earn record profits.

If I were a young kid growing up now, seeing my parents getting laid off for no reason and switching jobs every few years/months, I'd think this might not be how I want to live my life.

As a result, young people grow up chasing careers in content rather than science, infrastructure, tech, or health care because they now know that going down that path opens them up to massive vulnerabilities and possibly a low quality of life. After a couple of generations, there might not be enough people working in those necessary fields, which can hurt.
In the last couple of years, I've set up a local code club for kids, starting doing all the admin for my son's Scouts group, taken over running a monthly board games club, and started painting Warhammer figures. Work is still boring, but it matters much less.
Building a simple shell in C – Part 1
Not Arizona, that place can’t even count its votes in a reasonable time frame and its water rights are questionable since its senator did a dirty deal to help Schumer and Manchin double cross the Republicans in exchange for enhancements to them. I know about the OG Intel Fabs built there. That was a very long time ago. Here in the Future, they’re going to want Nevada because of its superior commercial infrastructure or the Ohio Valley for its superior educated workforce and cheap land. Of course, Texas is better too, but only if they strike a deal with the State (like most major tech companies) and choose an area that’s still building out. I would totally go with Nevada or Michigan tho, depending on if focus is production or engineering.
