> If you choose to make it anyways, would you really expect them to reward you for it?

A healthy organization should reward developers for making internal tooling that is deemed necessary for the functioning of the org and drives value, yes. You're kinda ignoring the part here where I said that it was measurably useful to the company.

If you're saying that you need to ignore necessary internal tools and get on the big visibility projects to get promoted, then thats exactly optimizing for self-promotion. Companies that ignore vital internal work that is not sexy and don't provide ways for engineers working on that vital internal work to advance their careers will end up unable to drive revenue due to low productivity.
I don't understand why audits aren't easy. You just need a list of all the accounts and a list of all the holdings. You can tell if the accounts list is complete by spot checking a few entries (create an account with a random holding a week before and see if it's on the list). You can tell if the coins were borrowed recently as the Blockchain is public for major coins.

What am I missing here?

MacStories Is on Mastodon with Its Own Server
This takes me back! This was roughly 25 years ago so I’ll do my best to remember.

My first job in high school was at a company with the entire business running on SCO Unix. I want to say OpenServer 3, maybe? It was essentially a terminal server with dozens of Wyse 60 terminals attached.

Anyway, as a Linux enthusiast I promptly setup a RedHat 7 install on some old hardware they had lying around. IIRC correctly it was a low-end Pentium but it could handle a PCI 100mbit ethernet card just fine.

Anyway, the goal was to get data to/from the SCO system to something with a TCP/IP stack (RedHat machine) so it could go somewhere - samba shares on the rapidly growing ethernet network, maybe even the internet!

We ended up using UUCP over serial, scripting, and cron jobs to push/pull from directories on each side. The RedHat machine was promptly connected to a 56k modem to do dial on demand and IP masquerading for the ethernet network and uploads of specifically formatted files from the SCO system via FTP to vendors and partners.

Fun times!
One thing that I realized way to late and kind of the hard way is that being an "IC" forever is not really realistic, and companies that say that you can, that they have a management track and a technical track are mainly lying.

Realistically, most dev positions only require, value, and will pay for like 5-10 years of experience, and will just churn through people in that range.

Even if you don't particularly want to be a manager, it's probably best to feign interest.

By definition, yes. I mean if it isn't "mostly better" then that's a different argument, but by definition, yes, that's what those words mean.

But I think you also missed the main point of my argument for a small portion. Don't miss the forest for the trees.

That’s an understatement!

Earlier this year I helped our final Solaris SPARC customer move over to X86/Linux. Every year for the last 5+ years they’ve asked us to extend support for just one more year; they were almost done with the migration! In the end, we had to compile them a few pieces of software with weird configurations because they took the standard AWS Linux and, well, I have no idea what on earth they did to it.
My random opinion: It's best to go on Keto intermittently; say 2 month on, 2 months off, or similar variation. I would be hesitant to be on it permanently, but doing it off and on feels safer to me.

One of the nice things, for me, in terms of having been on Keto occassionally, if that it's given me the ability to go for extended periods without needing to eat. I don't crash, in terms of blood sugar, the way I used to. Even when I'm not eating super low carb.

>don't know why it's so impossible to believe there are people who truly do want free speech.

Because everybody has a point where they don't want free speech anymore. If I gathered your home address and told everyone you were a pedophile that needed to be killed, you'd probably be less stoked about free speech.
I'd lean that vs the reast of the world, both US parties are very pro immigrant

For example, neither party has revoked all visas and sent everyone home, and both parties have presided over plenty of immigrants both entering the country and becoming citizens.

The long queues and things are that the US is immigrant friendly, but with rate limits. It's one thing to leave the rate limits alone, another to reduce them, and another to increase them
I think a more likely reason why hunter gatherers don't have aren't prone to schizophrenia (in this model) is that it was evolutionarily bread out of them. Hunter gatherers in the modern world are extremely weird populations that are often under intense selective pressure!
As others have said, at the very least you need a clearly defined Chairperson, and a clearly defined Agenda. It's useful to also state required participants for each meeting (by billet, not by name), and especially the Information Exchange Requirements. What are the pieces of info that feed into decisions made at the meeting, and what are the expected output products? Who is responsible for each input? What format should they be (PowerPoint slide, text document, etc.)?

It also helps to have a standardized format for documenting and disseminating information about the structure of your meetings.

Nothing could be a stronger indictment of Mark Zuckerberg's ability to lead teams and create innovative products than the fact that he wasn't able to utilize John fucking Carmack properly.

Even with all the money in the world, Zuckerberg is just too conventional, uncreative, and lacking in genuine enthusiasm. He's been totally unable to create the kind of esprit de corps present in every great team.

He cloned and acquired his entire career and it's made him weak. He was never forced to actually get good.

What inspiration there is at Meta today was brought there by Palmer Luckey and John Carmack years ago. And, since it can't be cloned or bought by Zuckerberg, it has simply dwindled away year by year.

The upside is that Oculus launched the VR industery. And now it's just a matter of time until VR evolves from a toy to a powerful tool. Maybe Meta will eventually make it happen, they certainly have the money, but more likely Apple or a startup will give it The Big Push.
My previous company had many slack channels and they would always tag @here or @all

I simply ignored slack. Too much noise to be useful.

> He was Bethesda and Oculus. He isn’t Meta.

Meta is gargantuan compared to 2009-2013 Bethesda, which frankly seems like a golden handcuffs-era footnote in Carmack's professional history. He isn't even mentioned once in Bethesda's wikipedia page[0]...

Oculus seemed far more apropos for a get-shit-done guy like Carmack. Personally I think FB acquiring him/Oculus was an almost certain shitty outcome for the VR technology.

But I'm glad Carmack surely refilled the piggy bank in the process. I look forward to seeing what he manages to do free of the FB/Meta albatross with gas in the tank.

Oh wow. What he’s describing really resonates with me. Working in software, I feel it’s almost dichotomous in its nature that people absolutely coast or absolutely give a damn. It can be so difficult to work on a coasting team. And otherwise, it’s torture to your soul not to give a damn around people who do (if you care, I guess).

In his role I can see that being a genuine struggle, arguably worse than what I’ve encountered. I’ve rarely had agency to effect change, or even the illusion of it. In his case, it must have felt as though he should be able to get things on course somehow. That would be frustrating.
> An analogue question would be "why do things exist?". There can be no answer to this question. We can of course come up with theories that explain why certain things exist. But never why something even exists at all.

Here's an argument for the conclusion "it is necessary that at least one thing exists":

1) For some proposition P, if it is impossible for us to concieve of P being true, and if that impossiblity is inherent in the very nature of P, and not in any way a product of any scientific or technological limitation, then P is necessarily false

2) It is impossible for us to conceive of the proposition "nothing exists at all" being true

3) Our inability to concieve of "nothing exists at all" is inherent in the very nature of "nothing exists at all", as opposed to being somehow a product of our scientific or technological limitations. We have no good reason to believe that any future advances in science or technology will make any difference to our inability to conceive of "nothing exists at all" being true

4) Hence, it is necessarily false that "nothing exists at all"

5) Hence, necessarily, at least one thing exists.

Now, others may disagree with this argument, but I personally believe it to be sound. And, if we have a sound argument that "necessarily at least one thing exists", then that proposition, and the argument used to prove it, constitute a good answer to the question "why do things exist?"
I mean, this is... basic stuff. Well, ok, one has to learn to navigate enormous codebases, but then when one has, this sort of thing is easy. I'm not a genius! And this skill can be taught and learned, and nothing helps like actually doing it. There was a time when I had no clue, you know.

Your mention of integration does bring back some memories of a bank I worked at where we had source code to proprietary operating systems, and it was sooo useful to a) debug things, b) find undocumented things and ways to work around bugs and limiations, and I was pretty much the only one using that source code. At the time I didn't really understand that (b) is risky, but I managed not to get burned. That was how I started learning how to navigate huge codebases.
Indeed. I remember we got two of those at a TV station I worked at in 1997-1998, used mostly for fancy weather 3D effects. The weather guy was so in love with the system. Meanwhile we were still using 3/4” Beta tapes in the editing bay for reporter packages and network footage…
This is such an important note. Of course kids get overwhelmed. Adults get overwhelmed. One of the main reasons kids melt down over it is because they're not just overwhelmed, but trapped.

An adult can excuse themselves, step out for some fresh air, go to the bathroom, or even go home. Knowing how and when to do that is an important skill.

Kids need that outlet too, and they need their parents to be attuned to their needs and help them manage.

If a kid is melting down at a restaurant, they need help from an adult who ought to have some idea what the child needs and how to provide it.

Too many parents seem to think their own desire for an uninterrupted meal is more important than their child's basic biological need to be able to get out of an overwhelming situation. It's not fair to trap someone somewhere they don't want to be and then blame them for becoming upset.
As an intern in the mid 90s I babysat a similar mix. We also had some older SunOS boxes and some Irix, but mostly Solaris. I remember the HP as being the worst to work with of the bunch - for whatever reason if one of the tests was going to be broken it was on the HP.

I can't imagine they want to support two separate account systems, especially with the amount of potential PII involved (like eye/face tracking training data).

Good tools usually have a beneficial tradeoff - it takes a minute or two to learn how to do it, but you have recurrent measureable gains in productivity after that. That includes closing Vim.
He hasn't seemed happy since the beginning. So this was a surprise to me. I thought he would leave after something vested, but that doesn't seem to have determined the timing.
The power of any State regarding such things usually works by exercising control & influence over entire networks of people. Not so much by brute (legal) force applied at who or whatever holds the formal power. Quite often, such firms / owners / networks of people don't even fully realize what is going on if at all.
Often it's even more than one State trying to achieve the same without it being "visible". TL;DR We don't know shit by just observing media reports & firm/executive behavior.

I had a, which now seems quaint, habit of keeping compile listings (which have all sorts of neat information) for my applications.

However I have a deep distaste for writing in COBOL. That said, my favorite resource for dealing with COBOL problems was AMBLIST which shows the compile date and other attributes of each object module,whether COBOL, FORTRAN, Assembler or PL/I.

There's a number of mainframe source management tools. In VM, XEDIT would automatically generate change records for source files as they were modified.

It made a lot of sense to develop under VM and deploy to MVS, z/OS just to have good source control without having to buy source management tools and enforce their use. I strongly suspect IBM does pretty much the same for their mainframe operating system and utility code.

The dirty secret is that the code that runs logical partitions is a flavor of VM.

COBOL and FORTRAN in the early days had minimal subroutine libraries. Direct calls to the supervisor were made in the compiled code along with building the parameters and handling the results. This does make it more straightforward to see what the object code is doing.

PL/I had a comprehensive subroutine library.

Later on the subroutine libraries for the various compiler languages were consolidated into Language Environment.
It's coded to retry connecting every 500ms. Usually the connection will have to timeout first, so it takes longer for each retry. I set my retries to Infinity.

Messages that the client publishes while trying to connect are pending also every 500ms to try to resend as soon as it connects. This might be something that should be customizable to return an error or retry in a future version.

Because this design is send and forget / fire and forget (similar to redis), messages published when a client is not connected will not make it to that client. If receipt confirmations are needed, it would need to be coded into the app using pubsub.

Thanks for the reply! I will get this info added to the docs soon.

The registered domainname in the above example is curl.se, and the registry is se. As far as the registry is concerned, the domainname is all ASCII. The evil label is created by the operator of the registered domain, not the registry. The only way the registry can act in this case is to ban the domain if the registry observes the attack, but they might never see it.

I do think it's a significant price to pay. While a lot of teens are indeed like this, plenty aren't, and I'd (admittedly without evidence) guess that there's actually a negative correlation between wanting to be part of such a performative group and liking the idea behind the group to the extent of being willing to participate in it and make "sacrifices" for doing so. Maybe it's just personal bias but back when I was a teen, I'd have loved the idea behind it but definitely not joined it for that reason. Especially as a teen, being the only one not participating in the aesthestic would made me feel left out.

Well, all the discussion about Atom, all around we is about performance. Even when the people in the discussion don't actually notice this.

But I'd put javascript and java on the same cohort when talk about usability (programability?, what name do I use here?). They are not as bad to be dangerous, but neither is any good either. Anyway, the JVM allows some other languages that don't solve all the problems but bring you some expressivity (honestly, I have no idea if this is a positive), while electron can work with typescript (much better than javascript) and can run wasm (what currently implies on rust, what means low expressivity but high confidence on your code).

I'm not ready to declare any winner here.
