[Putting a note here for awareness. I am debo, a user/contributor to the devpods project at Uber]

I am a founder of DevZero (devzero.io) where we are taking the theme of "remote compute with local tools", but built specifically to serve engineers in enterprise companies - still pretty early, but would love for people to check it out and provide feedback!

How we're looking at the space:
- IDEs need to stay local but thankfully, VS Code, Jetbrains etc all now allow connecting to remote VMs and containers
- the main issue is around not have enough of your dependencies present. So outside of standalone dev environment (VM/container), we also let companies "bring their k8s/serverless config" and let each engineer have their ephemeral full-stack to code against.

The standalone environments offer various perf boosts (super simple onboarding, switching project, we're seeing it reduces net time-to-deploy from start to deployed as well) for engineers coding in monoliths, which is true in many large companies still. We're already seeing really good traction here.

For the stuff where we're trying to take the engineer's IDE to an "ephemeral and hermetic env" that is built off of however "production workload management" works: an engineer can connect their local IDE to a remote "devpod" and do all their normal coding activities (w/ the relevant boosts in speed etc).
When they want to do some form of end-to-end testing, the engineer can hit downstream pods/serverless stacks etc (their own copy, i.e., not shared tenancy). We're currently figuring out if we can enable engineers to test a full end-to-end call chain and connect live debuggers to arbitrary pods in that call chain -- I think this will make debugging amazing cause so far its been pretty hard to repro end-to-end call chains in "dev-mode".
Our platform approach is basically making cloud dev environments (CDEs) even more awesome by putting them within a production-like environments for every dev.

Lots of info here (not shared widely yet, not even on the website). Please let us know if you want to use it, or consider working with us (we're actively hiring).

Re: workload management, we added support for k8s* generally but are now expanding out across the various clouds. For serverless, we started with AWS lambda and now have to tackle the other clouds. Then, we also need to do the default container mgmt for each of the cloud providers. (also looking at hashicorp nomad etc).

*Say you have helm to deploy containers/pods to prod. We look at that (and w/ a little more config re: dbs etc), give every engineer their copy of prod in their namespace alongside a devpod. Similar vibes for other workload mgmt systems.
I read that as discreet logic and got nostalgic for SGI and the days of 90s vfx.

I believe Roblox would have enough money to convince any platform hosting their app to capitulate.

Maybe I'm wrong, but my impression from the sudden change of fortune of all these movie and television streaming services is, maybe making really good content doesn't really make the business model work. Maybe it only really works if you're churning out low-budget, mindless trash reality TV. Though it is less clear if that was understood at front and this was a way of growing the subscriber base or if there was more optimism that was warranted.

I would naively assume that it doesn't affect it at all. Compiling with GCC doesn't magically make dynamic linking better. The limitation in dynamic linking is an element of language design.

I'd also note that any Rust you compile with GCC probably shouldn't be dynamically linked with Rust code compiled with rustc.
that’s the point, that it’s hard to get your hands on physical copies of tv shows
I'm aware, I just don't consider it relevant.
Then you can deal with unskippable advertisements before you can watch your movie you paid for. But at least the video quality is better.

SA was built on DPPH and FYAD reaped the cultural benefits of the influx of fresh blood.
they are everywhere. since twitter mostly shows you followed content and most people don’t engage deeper, they stay conveniently out of sight for people unfamiliar with the platform. the main intersection point is in trending threads by journalists (which - surprise! - is why they go on about them a lot) both because they really mainstream journalism and also because it provides them with easy reach. I’ve reported hundreds and gotten at least a couple dozen banned before, not for having wrong opinions but for doing crimes on the internet. you can guess what their other targets look like and who they follow on twitter, they don’t deviate a lot from the stereotype.
No, nothing like that exists, and no KVM exists that does instant switching.
Actually, rescuers did use a rock hammer drill to place anchors to attach pulleys to, so he could be extracted, unfortunately, the drill bit broke and they had to return to the surface to get another one.

Then (tragically) after they set the last anchor, one of them broke out from the passage wall, and that's when he slipped back down further than before, it was so damn SAD!
This has been annoying me since I first tried a PC after using Atari computers since they were a thing. No matter what monitor I use, it will take for ever to switch input port or just a simple change of resolution. I was used to be able to switch resolution several times per frame, you could make a game with low resolution and color on the upper 3/4 of the screen and have the stats in higher resolution 4 color mode on the lower 1/4 of the screen without any sort of delay in the signal, you just set an interrupt on every scanline and if the monitor was painting the 300'th scanline, you witch mode and suddenly it's doing double resolution for the rest of the frame. Then switch back on the Vertical Blanc Interrupt at the start of the frame paint.

I was quite surprised when the brand new PC needed 2-3 seconds just to switch resolution. And we are still there after 30-odd years? A KVM switch with analog signal was just the same, still long time to switch between signals. I'm using a remote control software to the local computers so I don't have to wait between every switch. With the added bonus that I can copy/paste between the computers without having to think.
The US is an exception though, since having any kind of leave at all is a gift of of the employer and not defined in law.

For the rest of the world, the idea that an employer can arbitrarily decide it is not possible for someone to be ill more than a certain number of days per year is bonkers.
Yes, absolutely. I’m not equating the two. But I do think that requiring sign-in for “town square” public discussions is.. questionable. Imo, Twitter (and others, they’re not at all alone) want to enjoy all the benefits of being an open platform, but doesn’t want to deal with the implications.
There’s a lot of variance between codes that run on a HPC system like this. You’d expect to see molecular dynamics, fluid dynamics, weather forecasting codes, density functional theory etc. etc., and the first two especially have a lot of variance in the codes and methods used to do those simulations.

I can’t remember the figures off of the top of my head but I read a report those use cases dominated ARCHER (UK national supercomputer) compute time a few years ago.
I have no idea what _you're_ talking about. I feel like they've explained their point. What about it do you not understand/disagree with?
> why the rest the code should still be running in the cloud. Python, Rails, Node? Why? Developers should be able to run 1 shell commands to install node.

Because, making local environments exactly identical to the actual production environment is nigh on impossible. There still will be minor differences. And, to maintain the local development environment, crap ton of work will go to however that environment is maintained.

If engineers are maintaining it themselves, each of them will literally waste time on maintaining the local dependencies needed for the local environment - frequently encountering blockers due to package management hell that we are living in these days breaking one thing or the other. If you have 100 engineers as an example, your organization will lose 100 man-hours each month to such local development environment issues.

If you go the route of having infra or dev experience teams etc maintain them, then that team will be spending that effort to keep the scripts and whatever being used to keep the remote local environments in the engineers' computers up to date and working.

Instead, that infra team can just prop up dev versions of their infra/cluster/whatever, give the engineers access to that environment through a vpn etc, and voila - you instantly removed a lot of that lost man-hours.

Moreover, you will not never encounter any totally unexpected bug or performance problems that could end up coming to being from there being unforeseen incompatibilities in between local environments of the engineers and the actual prod environment.

> So, fix your setup

Life is not long enough for hundreds of engineers being spending their time on fixing totally unnecessary package management conflicts that are created by the utterly insufferable package and dependency hell that we are living in today. If you like suffering through that dependency hell, good for you. Most of us prefer to ship code and make things happen.
So do we currently have other names for enfilades? Are segment trees or finger trees related?
I think software companies should offer both. A subscription gets you access to any version of the software as long as you keep paying. Or you can purchase a particular version.

Unfortunately though, this is very hard to achieve with Web based products, since then they would need to retain copies and host copies of every version. This to me just highlights how Web based software makes ownership harder, and is why I will always preference software I can download and backup and store how I please, etc.
It's contextual based on where you are and who your around. That's how social constructs work.

'passing' as another gender is just learning and performing that role.

Your definition of a gender is just the stereotypes you've amassed over time based in interactions with people who share similar traits (physical or otherwise)

This is very neat! Have you done any profiling on what codecs and sample rates this performs best on?

Anthropology in Ruins?
I was too young to remember the game but I still remember the cultural impact of that goal in England as a kid. The fact we still talk about Maradona surely places him as one of the greats!

I'm not sure it makes sense to compare greats of different generations. In athletics we can clearly see the improvement from generation to generation so if you plucked them out at their heights Messi is probably a better player than Maradona and Maradona a better player than Pelé, but had they all played at the same time who knows?

Toyota already offers a hybrid version of the Tundra.
Well yeah... the problem with Westworld was that it didn't really have an overarching plot, they just figured out what to do from season to season. Season 1 was brilliant, season 2 still good, but with some worrying misanthropic themes (like positing that human intelligence was vastly inferior to that of the androids), and then it apparently went downhill from there. I only ever watched seasons 1 and 2, but was planning on taking a look at 3 and 4, and finding out I won't be able to (legally) without forking out for the DVD box sets (which, at least in this case, still exist) makes me feel exactly like the article describes: as if someone stole a toy which I didn't play with, but was vaguely looking forward to playing with sometime in the future...

I’d argue Canada and the US are more “left” of Europe on that issue as well.
TikTok is a complete black box, no one has any idea how any of it works, so it's easier to pretend everything is fine if no one knows what's happening. They could be over-moderating and erring on the side of having more false negatives, and no one would know.

Also, I wouldn't really say so, there are plenty of stories about the algorithm serving harmful content to kids. But again since each person has a different FYP, it's hard to tell. Just because you don't fall into a bad rabbit hole doesn't mean some kid out there won't.

I agree. I liked that this article apparently gave a name to what I would call "product development under uncertainty". But then I looked jugaad up further and it's not the same thing at all.

Jugaad seems to have more of a connotation of not doing things properly, rather than embedding options. Very different things!

> it doesn’t have to be ever-changing

It IS ever-changing. One library among the zillions of local dependencies that you need to build something changes, and you have to go through the dependency hell.

If entire software world valued backwards compatibility and vigilantly guarded it, that wouldnt be a problem. But in the package hell that we are living in today, every other day a package update brings some incompatibility or breaking change for this or that other thing.
> I have grown to dislike "jugaad" solutions to problems

Maybe it takes an outsider's view to appreciate jugaad. I certainly didn't on my first encounter.

> no adherence or even ambition to achieving excellence and craftsmanship

I agree - jugaad isn't the place for planned evolution, so skills that transcend the immediate needs for delivery never form.

> Aspiring to arrive to the jugaad solution to problems when better ways of doing it are within reach though, that's where I draw the line.

I think that most developers in India aren't even aware of the jugaad methodology, it's just the way things are done. When I was first exposed to jugaad I mistook it for sloppiness, but it turned out that both deliverables and the organisational setup itself is extremely anti-fragile: it's always easy to add or remove a part, although refactoring is hard.
Not necessarily: https://arxiv.org/abs/2206.14486

Also, even with "Chinchilla laws", you still gain performance in a larger model, you just need a lot more data (if just as noisy) to reach the same level of convergence, but a larger model will have already partially converged to a superior model with the same amount data.
Buying a product is no guarantee, companies should also release a patch when they stop running the license server e.g. certain adobe products can no longer be installed by the owner due to adobe neither running a license server nor released a patch.
> I'm assuming that Devpod does a similar thing on the server side

That's why they use devpods. You moved entire configuration to the cloud. There is absolutely no reason why it should be run in your local environment.

OP should clean both microphones on their phone, usually a sewing needle or thin toothpick can do the trick, but 99% Isopropyl on a toothbrush might be needed afterwards if the grill inside that protects the microphone is also clogged up.

Both microphones need to be cleaned of any blockages so the hardware echo and noise cancellation on a given phone works well. Otherwise you've got distorted audio getting processed as if it's not distorted...

Learning languages did not ruin the author’s life. The attention-grabbing title thinly disguises a heartfelt speech for learning languages, especially praising the empathy gained by becoming "one of the speakers tribe".
Important question because a microphone array (which exists on some phones, and things like home voice assistants) can be steered into the equivalent of a shotgun mic's pattern, or even more focused than that. It's just that an algorithm aims it toward the strongest signal, instead of the user aiming a hypercardioid mic manually. Either way, this is what reduces the ratio of reverberant room sound ("echo").
What are the hardware limitations? Surely this is possible if there was investment and interest in making this work? Or do the protocols really not allow this?
