Ha, I had the exact same experience a bit over a decade ago! Only it came from a total misunderstanding of what agile teams were supposed to be, the idea that anybody on the team should pick up any story they wanted to.

So suddenly the graphic designer is writing HTML and CSS, the front-end developer starts writing SQL queries, and the product manager starts writing JavaScript.

The experiment lasted about a month with a lot of hurt feelings, because essentially all the code just had to be totally reverted.

The graphic designer knew how to write CSS for his browser and screen resolution, but didn't have the faintest idea how to deal with window resizing, browser quirks, unexpectedly long text, or how to integrate with our established frameworks at all. Just threw a lot of CSS straight into "style" fields instead of CSS files. The SQL queries fell apart in production because the front-end developer didn't know how indexes worked at all, or to aggregate values on the database server instead of client-side. While the PM's JavaScript was similarly just modifying the DOM directly instead of using the framework, leading to total spaghetti code (and global variables everywhere).

The worst part wasn't even the wasted time, but the damaged personal relationships. Because nobody had even the level of expertise to understand why their code had been reverted, so they blamed it on politics instead. The PM thought it was totally unreasonable to require usage of the framework, the front-end dev blamed the database architecture because indexes didn't seem like something anyone should have to deal with, and the graphic designer similarly could never be convinced of any good reason why CSS shouldn't be inlined into HTML. All of them wound up blaming the actual team member experts for getting jealous of their turf and trying to unjustly sabotage the new people's contributions.

Just a disaster all around.

Now obviously that was kind of a worst-case scenario. But nevertheless, ever since I've been extremely wary about people picking up development outside the area of expertise they were hired for, simply because people don't know what they don't know. In other words, they don't even ask to get assistance on how to do something properly, because they're totally unaware there's a proper way that's different from what they just naturally hack together.
Can you elaborate on what kind of TODO app you wanted? I might try this in Forth as an example (and if I do I'll email you).

At this point one has to wonder if the prosecutors agreed to these bail terms because they know this guy is so pathological he just can’t stop himself and would go on to make all kinds of stupid moves (just like he did leading up to his indictment).

This is likely one of the many nails he’ll hand them so they can hammer his coffin shut at trial and sentencing.

Also minor nitpick - a "first class private flight" is incongruous. He flew back first class on a commercial flight which has terrible optics but is actually pretty reasonable considering his profile, he (supposedly) had federal agents shadowing him, etc.
Shouldn't the product page have a picture of the product? Strange not to include that so people can quickly see what this looks like.

Why is it a "legitimate" criticism. That's just you opinion. Doesn't make it any more (or less) valid than the question I'm posing; why is the developer entitled to Apple providing hardware for testing? Do people purchase Macs purely for cURL - I doubt it. It's merely a convenient tool that is not encumbered by a GNU license. It sounds to me more like the typical outpourings of the oft-entitled developers. You develop software for MacOS, do you expect a free Mac? The cURL license permits the form of re-distribution that apple are employing, does it not? Are other hardware manufacturers expected to donate hardware? Does the developer have reference machines from Intel or AMD?

Edit - Looking at https://opencollective.com/curl, the project received $64,000 in donations, and the developer is employed, full-time, by a company to work on cURL. You'd have slightly more of a point if this were not the case, however as it stands it looks like a whine about Apple.
Packages for chemistry are useful, even if I don't use them myself. Also siunitx needs yet a TeXmacs equivalent (I think https://github.com/pireddag/SIunits/tree/simple is not yet good enough)

Ok, so which language it is easy to prove secure?
> There's a crucial distinction here to make, you are naming the correct effect, and it has the correct effect, but it happens somewhere different, so your proposed solutions would be adverse.

Can you spell out the adverse effects you see in the proposal to credit money directly to people's accounts? It seems like the money people spend would go to paying directly for consumables and to paying off loans and the money they don't spend would stay in the banking system, helping to meet capital requirements and supporting the banks' loans to the rich (and others.) It seems like the above situation might create inflation in consumables but it wouldn't create asset price inflation. And since the money is going directly to those most affected by inflation in consumables, there's a different but reasonable balance achieved. So, I can see that you see something I don't see. Can you give some examples?
Same here. I was going to comment pretty much the same.

I tried to write and record stuff in the past. The very act of doing would make me lose focus, give up on early ideas because I couldn't put them in a linear form or creating useless notes (I either remembered them already or they didn't make any sense).

In contrast, I tend to write a lot of notes when I'm actively working on some idea and not just brainstorming. My code in WIP is often full of comments, my desktop is full of .txt files, etc.

> Yes! But I wonder: wouldn't it be better if the developer has to specify how he wants to retrieve the information? In a regular programming language, typically people don't complain too much about this "missing feature" of a query optimizer.

On the other hand, as you noted, SQL is forever while programs and programming languages come and go. Maybe having a declarative data mindset is appropriate since data is more valuable and durable than code.
I try the loci method [1] if it is really important and I have nothing to write it down.

There is a number of ideas that I can keep in my had. If I surpass that, I lose memory of most of them. It would be nice to write them down, but the threat of losing ideas also helps me to stay focused on the first idea.

I am a happier person since I have stopped taking long showers.

I should have been more clear in the final paragraph. I didn't mean you don't own the physical copy of the book. I meant you don't own the text itself. Rephrasing:

It's a distinction without (much of) a difference, since the paperback will outlive you and probably your grandchildren, but [the paperback is] not eternal, and so technically you don't own [the text of the book], the same way you don't own [the text of the book when you only have] digital copies. The time frame over which you don't own [the text of the book] is just longer.

Civil forfeiture is legalized theft. Rationalize its legality all you want, but it is the government agents acting like criminals. This kind of behavior flagrantly steals assets from lawful citizens. They are routinely overstepping the bounds of civil behavior, so these institutions need to be burned to the ground - literally if need be.

I've been writing down notes, thoughts, ideas, concepts anything at all that seems remotely worth keeping at the time and I used to hit this particular bit all the time:

> I do less well at capturing the level of detail that made the idea exciting at the time.

Thoughts and ideas usually require context to frame them in the way that is exciting. When writing down notes I always have that required context in my head but I didn't capture that as well. I still start by writing down the part that I'm excited about but now I spend some time trying to capture that context.

What was I reading, watching, listening to when the idea occurred. Where was I when it occurred? Was there another thing I was trying to work through that led me to this? Do I have notes on that other thing, or any other related topics? I was thinking about that I can connect this note to? Coming to this thought cold is there some context I need?

The problem that I mostly have now is that my collection of notes is quite vast at this point and of varying level of quality and detail. I occasionally will spend time pruning, refining, and cleaning up my notes but I tend to produce more than I consume. I've started to focus on places in my notes where there are a lot of tight connections between notes. It means its a place that my mind keeps wandering to and where I have a high density of ideas.

I'm still looking for better ways to manage and refine my notes so these threads are all very interesting to me hahah.

Yep, agreed -- as I responded to another comment, I should have been more clear at the end that I meant neither a physical book nor a digital copy gives you ownership of the text itself. Both implementations of the text can go away -- in very different ways.

Everything has risk. What is the risk of having a sleep-deprived parent caring for a baby (holding and walking with them, driving, etc)? For some people, co-sleeping (bed sharing) largely eliminates sleep deprivation. Have you weighed those risks against each other, in particular when something like the safe sleep 7 are followed for co-sleeping?
We have plenty of records from other societies indicating how absolute rulers did and didn't schedule their days. A king has a potentially limitless amount of stuff to do and also the power to set his own schedule as well as servants to help him stick to it. Whether he slept a lot or a little and whether his schedule was biased early or late was almost certainly a matter of personal preference and convenience. An absolute ruler also has to consider the signal being sent. Being awake and dressed in time to attend morning colors with regularity sends a message that a ruler might deem worth the effort to send.

Just as a point of reference, for me to spin up a 3 node cluster in terraform with GKE it takes 10+ minutes.
Not yet, but I am definitely going to use the language more! For example I want to rewrite a controller I wrote in Ruby that monitors Velero backups and sends me notifications via emails, Slack, or webhooks so I can know when a backup failed. I did this in Ruby but want to rewrite that too.

In terms of operators I have an idea for an operator but it would be very specific to our infrastructure and backend apps at work.

You always have such nice posts Josh!
It isn't too big of an issue, rockets have to meet certain requirements to fly nuclear material. The flight profile is required to be over water, so intact material just gets diluted or sinks. There are some requirements about how the flight termination system works (eg it shouldn't spread payload debris over a large area) and general reliability considerations identical to those for human spaceflight.

Essentially, flying nuclear material is treated with the same level of basic care as flying humans.

Once the material is in space the regulations aren't as thorough, I imagine the most that NASA considers is for the launch to be into a direct injection orbit or at a sufficiently high parking orbit that there isn't an immediate risk of uncontrolled reentry in case of some failure.

I use whatsapp, create a group with one other person then remove that person, it's then synced with the browser app. I use this to send short voice notes and things like PDFs I might want to print out on a work machine but without having to log in to my private email account etc.
That would require a centralized entity like a gov to verify and crypto backed by phone numbers.

This would be extremely valuable for many applications
ASRock makes some good motherboards, and all support ECC by default.

Somewhat related:

I don't like server motherboards like those from, say, Supermicro, because they don't care very much about security. For example, they've had motherboards for years that let you share the primary ethernet with IPMI. Is there a way to disable this? No. Is there a way to force IPMI to ONLY use the dedicated ethernet? No - the settings are stored in the battery backed memory. Wouldn't a jumper make sense? Sure, but they don't think so.

What this means is that if your motherboard battery dies and your dedicated IPMI port is somehow disconnected, your server can be completely, 100% taken over via the public interface. While it's not a likely attack scenario, the point is that if you have a need to ship servers to various datacenters, you genuinely can't be sure that your server won't be utterly vulnerable on first boot unless you're there, confirming it yourself.

Does Supermicro care? No. They refuse to consider the loss of all security due to a dead battery to be a security issue. Having a security issue is one thing - ignoring it when told about it (or worse - pretending it's not an issue) is something else entirely.
Yep. I tested creating a cluster with 5 nodes and it took almost 20 minutes for me with GKE (just from the console, not Terraform).

The M-W definition 2b is from Covid, so it's not indicative.

Re the article, it seems Mooney was legally in the right, which actually supports my point. So the story is really just about bog standard power tripping cops, and their general unaccountibility (did Mooney pursue and win his lawsuit? More critically, did the overstepping, needlessly violent, and needlessly covid-spreading cops ever suffer any repercussions for their behavior? good luck...)

"Lockdown" implies that you yourself are locked down like definition 2a - ie stuck in your home. Some countries did this, and we're all familiar with the stories of apartment building doors welded shut in China.

But the US overwhelmingly had stay at home suggestions. As far as I can tell, it was only a few counties in California that had bona fide stay at home orders. A lot of people thought the suggestions had the force of law, but they did not. And I wasn't going to correct them - that combination was the best we could have hoped for.

Ultimately, the term "lockdown" is a motte and bailey term where the motte is evoking totalitarianism like China, with a fall back to defenses like "the paint was 'locked down' at Home Depot as it was deemed non-essential".

I agree there were a lot of things that were closed that shouldn't have been. Other things were legitimately closed. And many things were closed with a crude justification, which was never reexamined or redefined with nuance.

Collapsing it all to a singular hyperbolic narrative of "lockdown" ultimately just played on people's frustration with the existence of the pandemic, and made it difficult to have nuanced discussions about what were reasonable restrictions and what were not.
Because good land itself might just be more expensive to purchase and maintain than all of those systems in a highly dense footprint?
Agreed? But my point (poorly phrased) was that neither physical copies nor digital gives you ownership of the physical text. If your physical copy burns there is no provision for replacing it because you have a right to the text itself. It's on you to preserve the physical copy.
There is no elegance there. Casting to void is not a plus. That’s just C having no proper type system.

Function pointers as an elementary form of closures, come on, what’s next? Closures are defined by capture. It’s nearly as fun as pretending C as coroutines because of setjmp.

How can a statement like C being semantically poor even be seen as controversial? For god sake, we are talking about a language which semantically doesn’t even have proper arrays.

> The elegance of the specification may be questionable, but the scope of what C tried to achieve is breathtaking. It actually is superior to most of its improvements.

Seriously? It wasn’t even a good language when it was released. Lisp and Pascal were far better. It won because of compiler availability and adequate performance on limited platforms.

Let me share my 2 cents as the Developer Advocate for IPFS (employed by PL).

You claim that our work is largely ineffective but what are you referring to? The IPFS ecosystem is like a cluster of several ecosystems, e.g. Libp2p, IPLD, IPFS, Multiformats.

> Lots of code and specs but nothing really usable

Some of the libraries may not be as actively maintained as others — this is the nature of open source. But to claim nothing is usable is not accurate — there's a lot of stuff that works pretty reliably.

> Code is not very original

Who cares....

> autonat is their version of stun/ice.

It's actually Autonat, DCUtR, and Circuit Relay V2 which are pretty amazing given that it's like STUN/ICE but decentralized! Anyone in the network might help you hole punch through NAT and from network measurements the success rates average around 70% (https://youtu.be/bzL7Y1wYth8?t=1091). Saying it's just "their version of STUN/ICE) takes away from the main qualitative difference of doing it without centralized coordination servers.

> "what apps use libp2p" you won't find anything because nobody uses it.

Ethereum uses libp2p GossipSub since the beacon chain launched. Berty, Satellite (https://satellite.im/), Status (https://discuss.status.im/t/waku-version-2-pitch/1776#org900...).

Either way, I appreciate your comment, we need to be doing a better job of surfacing some of the great progress being made in the IPFS/Libp2p ecosystem.
